Default Just picked up Bilstein PSS9 kit

If anyone is running this setup, I'm looking for a recommendation on how low to go. I'm not looking for "stanced" or "slammed", but a bit lower and clean up some fender gap. I'm on stock AP2 V1 wheels with OEM size tires. Is it best to thread the collar all the way to the bottom and then count turns going back up? For those who have PSS9, how many turns did you go and how much lower over stock?

I plan doing more track days with this car and possibly an autocross if being hosted in or near Sacramento. Any feedback from those who are familiar with this kit or setting coilover heights is appreciated. I plan on doing the install myself.

I'm pretty sure the instruction manual shows a spring perch height with a corresponding ride height, no?

Purchased used, no manual but I might be able to find one online.

Can't answer your questions specifically but its a great kit. I'm 60,000 miles in on mine and they feel new.

There are some specific measurements in the manual. I think I have a copy at home so will check later.

I went for the highest ride height they recommend, and it looked like this:

I just found this: https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/757...n-pss9-donuts/

You can see the measurements of 205-215mm on the rear and 310-345mm on the front (see the diagram for how to measure - essentially, centre of the bottom bolt to the top of the perch).
